I experience such a unique segment of life in the orthodontist's waiting room. Normally, it is a odd conversations I overhear. This visit brought something totally unexpected.
Upon arriving we heard an odd sound and peculiar looks on the other client's faces. It was then we noticed a woman sleeping. Not just sleeping - laying sprawled on the waiting room couch. Not just sleeping and stretched across the couch, but snoring. Snoring loudly! Even the sound of her cell phone going off didn't rouse her.
I found myself torn between wondering what this poor woman's life must be like that she was so exhausted she would fall asleep in a waiting room (though I knew the waits sometimes seemed like an eternity) and wanting to video her with my phone and post it on youtube.
I then hoped that whoever she was waiting for would be compassionate. The tables turned, I am pretty confident my kids would just walk out and pretend they didn't know me.
The whole experience made me yearn for the days when it was just having someone talk on their cell phone.
